I now have available to anyone who is interested a new version of TeX for DOS/Windows (either Windows 3.1 or Win95), called EMTEXGI. This is not really my creation, it was put together by Allin Cottrell (cottrell@wfu.edu). If you want the latest and greatest version, you can always get it from his Web site, EMTEXGI Web site

The only changes I made were to include AMS-TeX and AMS-LaTeX macros. It seems to do very well with all these formats, as well as plain TeX and LaTeX. This version uses LaTeX2e (the latest type of LaTeX). It should also work with older LaTeX files; let me know if you have any trouble, or need any additional features.

The system has a ``graphical interface'' which lets you easily edit, compile, preview, and print (or make a postscript output file) by clicking on buttons. It comes with an excellent editor (you can change editors if you want). It uses dviwin to handle previewing and printing, and if your machine can print anything in Windows, it can print TeX output.

To install, copy all these files to a directory \temp, then follow the directions on the file install.txt. It's fairly automatic.

You may have to edit your autoexec.bat file (in Win95, you may have to create this file from scratch) to get it working, but there are careful instructions available. Read the files readme.txt and install.txt from the author. One thing is that you need to edit the \emtex\mytex\emtexgi.cfg file to include the drive letter in the paths, that is, change ``\pfe\pfe.exe'' in line 1 of that file to ``c:\pfe\pfe.exe'' or whatever fits your system. Without this change you will not be able to edit and TeX files on your floppy drive. There is a button on the window to call up that file.

This distribution will probably be added to the department LAN in the near future (as well as other LANs on campus), but you can also put it on your personal machines. All programs involved are freely distributable.
